    If this rating was based off of their panadería alone, I'd give them 4 stars. They regularly make budín which is my absolute favorite. It's not the best I've had but it's getting harder and harder to find so I appreciate that they carry it here. So why the 3 star rating instead? Well, it's largely based off my annoyance that the items are not labeled with the correct prices or they're not labeled at all. I have my favorite grocery stores for certain items. Strawberries are better at Safeway. Baby spinach at Trader Joe's. Raleys for their carrots. And so on. But sometimes I'll just stop at one store out of convenience or when I know I need a specialty item. I loooooove Mexican food so I find myself at Santa Fe fairly often to pick up those one or two missing ingredients that I know I can't find anywhere else. And if I know I need a staple item of something else, I'll usually add that to my basket too. But when the price rings up at double (or even triple) the regular price of that item elsewhere, you kinda feel taken advantage of. This has regularly happened to me here so I've resorted to only shopping for the items I know are somewhat exclusive to this store. It's cumbersome but it's hard to shop for items when you don't know their prices! Overall ambience is fairly standard for a grocery store but may edge on the run-down side. Some areas, like the panadería, are well maintained. But I wouldn't buy many packaged goods here because I've seen grains and canned items well passed their "best buy" date. So those things seem to be lingering around for a while. Come check this place out for great bakery items at the very least.

    Chicken asada sope plate
    Derek R.

    I would actually go 2.5 but since I can't do 1/2 couldn't go to 3 so had to go to 2. Me and a buddy stopped in here for lunch. They offer a nice selection on their menu so decided to give it a try. Got the chicken sope plate and a carne asada taco. The prices were ok and serving size was decent. The taste was meh. If I was with someone who really wanted to eat there I probably would but would not recommend or go back on my own.

    a burrito with a side of salsa
    Dexter F.

    Wonderful Mexican market with a great produce section. Though I was here for the taqueria. Great selection of pre-cooked meals ready for dine in or to go. I got a carne asada burrito with chips and salsa for $6.99 plus tax. Pretty good deal. The burrito was Mexican rice, beans and meat with salsa. I'll be back to try some of their specials.

    Super nachos with carnitas, 2018 vs 2021
    Jerry S.

    Super nachos with Carnitas = delicious. Employees = super friendly. Spicy red salsa = incredible. Sad part: I have been weighing the nachos on a food scale since ~2017. In 2018 would give 1450 grams of nachos for $9, but now in 2021 they give around 1100 grams for $13. It means the value (nachos/dollar) has fallen 47%. It depends on who is preparing the nachos, but lately I've received as little as 750 grams, and never more than 1280 grams. The amount used to be amazing, but now it's starting to feel like a rip off, although it is still delicious.

    Cheese enchilada plate with rice & beans
    Rubi O.

    It sucks when someone doesn't speak English and understand what you ordered I ordered a chili relleno and a cheese enchilada plate the lady repeated it which was fine but then when I got my plate I got 4 enchiladas the plate was pretty big. I ordered a small Slice of Cheesecake with a strawberry on top and drizzled chocolate on it from the Panaderia, it looks so good but it was not fresh it had a hard coating around the entire thing meaning it was old or from another day like 2 days ago or maybe even three I ordered a pork tamale for my daughter it was actually pretty good...the food itself was good, very good. My dad ordered chicken fajitas. These combination plates come very large which is pretty good fairly priced.

    Santa Fe food market is a destination shopping experience. It's very clean and well stocked. Their produce section is second to none. Variety and presentation in the produce and meat departments deserve praise. The Taqueria, the prepared food deli offers a menu that covers the entire Mexican realm of food offerings. Fish stews, rellenos, street tacos, burritos pork ribs and salads. Fresh made tamales can be purchased near the exit for $1.99 each. Santa Fe is definitely on the food market rotation.

    Dinner to go.

    I came here for the soup and can't wait to come back for more. My coworker had some soup for lunch and it looked too good not to ask her where she got it. I immediately YELP'd the location and planned where to go after work. I read a few reviews and feel compelled to divulge that I am a white lady and received excellent service at the deli/taqueria part of the store. Someone else had written a review implying they had been treated unfairly due to their ethnicity. I did not feel uncomfortable what so ever walking into this well lit, clean and obviously very nicely stocked grocery store. So much food to look at I felt overwhelmed and stayed focused on merely the soup. The broth was delicious and the meat tender. It also had tons of veggies. Potatoes, zuchinni, and of course the beef. So tender and flavorful. I think what gave it such good flavor was that I actually had a piece with a bone attached. Anytime a bone is cooked with the broth it adds flavor. I will go back for more shopping adventures. Cheers and Happy eating.

    Pupusas! So delicious!

    This grocery store was "mi pueblo" before it was closed. It's back with a new name "Santa Fe Mercado Y Carniceria ". Same concept as the previous store. Fresh produce, fresh meats, bakery and a large selection of prepared food to go. Fresh produce has lots of vegetable and fruits at a good deal. Bakery has fresh baked bread everyday. From pan dulce to birthday cakes! My favorite are the sweet bread and baguettes. The meat department has a variety of beef, chicken and even seafood. I like to purchase the prepared carne asada. It's already marinated to make great tacos! Prepared food section is by far my favorite. It's been hard finding a great Mexican food locale and this spot has all kids of food. Echiladas, tacos, burritos, tamales, tortas, bistec and rice and beans! Too much to list!! Try this place out you won't be disappointed. Stop by and grab some fresh veggies and take some already made food to go!

    This is the fried bass with the Pico De Gallo - so fresh!

    This isn't a typical bakery with a storefront but a giant bread factory that bakes a lot of bread…read moreto sell to retail clients and to fulfill commercial order deliveries. Just head to the back entrance (there really isn't a "front door") and grab whatever bread you want off the cooling racks! My mom has been wanting to try out this place ever since we discovered Palermo Bakery's ciabatta at a local European food shop where we asked for the name and address. Since we were in the area, we stopped by to buy some of that delicious bread that we've been dreaming about. I guess we didn't come early enough (we came around 7:30AM). I would suggest 5AM-7AM before they head out for deliveries or call in advance. We managed to buy 4 loaves of ciabatta and the last two rolls of Dutch Crunch (which is a must in NorCal -- it's such a rarity in SoCal to find freshly baked Dutch Crunch). In total, we paid $9 for fresh bread!! Make sure to bring cash! The staff gave us freedom to pick and choose our bread and gave us a quick tour of the bakery which was cool. They give you sturdy paper bags to hold your bread and sleeves that are freezer-friendly. Definitely recommend for quality, authentic Italian and traditional bread. Don't be deterred by the lack of storefront and BRING CASH!

The real entrance is a back door that looks pretty uninviting but trust me, you want to enter it. When you are inside you will be met with racks of freshly baked bread ready to go home with you. If no one is around just holler out and someone will be with you promptly. Palermo's is a commercial bakery that you can find in nearby grocery stores but why not go directly to the source and support local. We picked up a sourdough baguette, a sweet baguette, and a few sandwiches rolls. Overall, my favorite was the sourdough baguette. I can't wait to come back here and order more bread to share. *** cash only ***

It didn't look like it died down which is awesome for this business. I believe I waited 20-30 minutes in line before I reached the display case. There were so many delicious things to choose from, it was a challenge to decide! I opted for a croissant sandwich, a blue corn cookie, and some sweet treats for the beach. I also ordered a seasonal latte, I believe it was cherry chocolate with oat milk less sweet. There's a nice outdoor seating area with many tables in chairs. Since the weather was nice we decided to stop and eat for a bit. The ambience was very nice and calm. The food was delicious and their house made pickles were fantastic. They were crisp, fresh, and complimented the turkey sandwich so well. The blue corn cookie was very interesting and reminiscent of a tortilla chip. I'd definitely come back here if I were in the area.

Latte was decent, not too bitter or acidic and it was creamy They try a lot of variations for pastries, both savory and sweet! The savory danish was really tasty and there was some pickled / citrus component that added more depth and made it super interesting to eat! The salmon croissant was alright, had a really nice flaky crust but the filling tasted kinda gamey , would've been nice to have another component to balance it out. Cookies were niceeeee the buckwheat choco cookie had nice amounts of sea salt and was like a brownie texture on the inside. Choco chip cookie was thin and crispy on the outside with chocolate blobs spread around, quite sweet though There was a line going out the door but only had to wait around 15 min!
